Boasting rare beauty, an idyllic climate, warm welcoming people and a pace of life unsurpassed for peace: The Cook Islands are paradise.

Sam Henderson
We’re bombarded by ads selling insurance for funerals, life insurance and income protection and yet Australians are largely underinsured. Interestingly, around 33% of all mortgage defaults are caused by the death of a partner or ill health so not only are people dealing with a health or life crisis, they are also dealing with a financial crisis simultaneously, and many will lose their home. Most of us insure our house and car but many don’t insure their biggest asset; the ability to earn income. To tell us all about personal insurance is our Money Man Sam Henderson from Henderson Maxwell and author of Financial Planning DIY Guide.
